Louisville (Kentucky) - Wink Travel Guide

Louisville is the largest city in Kentucky, with about one and a half million people living in the metro area. Louisville is also the namesake of the Official Bat of Major League Baseball — the Louisville Slugger.

Louisville's biggest draw are the horse races at Churchill Downs (with the famous Kentucky Derby always the first Saturday in May), but the city is making a concerted effort to draw tourists year round.

A must-see for many is the Highlands shopping district, on Bardstown Road roughly from Broadway to the Douglass Loop.
